To the victims, family and friends, of the Aurora, Colorado shooting. I was deeply saddened to hear of this terrible tragedy. Things of this nature do not happen often, but when they do, they cause the entire nation to take a breath in shock and say a silent prayer or hope for the victims and their family and friends and the survivors.
To the victims, family and friends, of the Aurora, Colorado shooting. I was deeply saddened to hear of this terrible tragedy. Things of this nature do not happen often, but when they do, they cause the entire nation, and sometimes the world, to take a breath in shcok and say a silent prayer for those involved, or to hope for their well-being and safety.
Take heart though, because for every one person who is willing to commit such an atrocity there are many more who are willing to help. There are those who will help you recovery, both physically, mentally and emotionally, there are those who will help you with your loss, with your grief, with your medical bills, and there are those who will help you in your quiet moments of stoic sadness.
For every person who kicks at a homeless person on the street, there are multitudes more who will give him money or food or shelter. There will always be more of the kind-hearted than those who are wicked. They, and we, are here for you know in your time of loss and pain. The kind people, those who go out of their way to help others do not always make the news, unless they do something truly heroic or die trying, but they are out there, and they do help, and they will be there for you. I hope that you are able to move on from this tragedy and find peace, I hope that you will live better lives, and that you will remember that there are always kind, cheerful people in every walk of life.
To those who lost their lives, I hope that you are in a better place, a place where you can know eternal joy and happiness, where you do not have to worry about the cruelties of the world, where you do not know weariness or pain or sorrow.
I hope that everyone can find it in themselves to be better people so that tragedies like the one that we witnessed, or saw on the news or read about do not happen, so that we may all live in peace.
Let it be known that I did not, and do not, intend to offend anyone by writing this. It truly is something that touches me deeply, and I hope that everyone can move on from this without too much emotional, physical or mental damage. I hope that everyone who was involved finds peace and happiness. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I also hope that the man who committed the atrocity can realize what he has done and be truly sorry for it. Perhaps he will find the time while he is in prison.
